Earlier today (Monday) Israel's army radio (Galei Tzahal) reported that two civilians called the police to report a suspicious drone flying over their homes last night.
According to the report, two Israeli civilians from Yokneam placed two calls to the Israel Police hotline between 7:05 p.m. and 7:06 p.m. They said that they had seen a suspicious-looking drone flying above their homes, and that they suspected it was an enemy aircraft.
By 7:08 p.m. the police transferred their message to the appropriate authorities. Using a direct line between the police and the air defense unit which exists specifically to report on such events, the police contacted the Air Force’s air control unit.
Minutes later, the air control unit told the police they had investigated and concluded that after investigating, they concluded that the drone was an Israeli aircraft and that there was no report of an enemy aircraft incursion.
At 07:12 p.m. the police closed the case. Three minutes later – at 07:15 p.m. – the Hezbollah drone exploded in the cafeteria of the Golani Brigade training base, killing 4 soldiers and injuring dozens of others, seven seriously.
